''[[Chrono Crusade]]'' is a [[Manga]] started in 1998 by Daisuke Moriyama, which was later adapted into a 2003 [[Anime]] by Gonzo. The series was originally known as ''[[Chrno Crusade]]'' in Japan due to a typo (or so Moriyama says), but in a recent reissue of the volumes of the manga the missing "O" was restored to the title [http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v43/BrightBlueInk/news_large_chrono02.jpg and highlighted by a flame on it to make sure it's noticeable.] Both the manga and the anime were licensed by [[ADV Films]] in the US; Section 23, one of the company that came out of the ashes of ADV, had the distribution rights to the anime until late 2010 when [[FUNimation]] acquired the distribution rights. The manga is currently unlicensed and out-of-print since their manga branch has been completely dissolved. (So if you want to read this series and see the copies for sale somewhere, snatch them up. Or read a scanlation, but I didn't tell you that.) Section 23 has licensed the broadcast rights to the anime to [[Manga Entertainment]], who is currently airing it on [[Sy Fy]]'s Tuesday night Anime block alongside [[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]] .

* [[Grand Finale]]: Both the anime and the manga version end things with a bang.

* [[Gratuitous English]]: The title. And in the anime, "South Brooklym", "Joan Paul" and a doozy from the preview:

* [[Happy Flashback]]

* [[Happy Place]]: Rosette has a lake near the Order that she takes Azmaria when she's having a bad moment; other characters mention that she goes there often. {{spoiler|It's destroyed near the end of the first volume, possibly the first sign that the cast is heading into danger.}}

** The manga also has a shout-out to [[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]] (and other mon shows) when Rosette briefly tries to order a confused Chrono around similarly to how trainers command their monsters.

** A music shout out in the anime dub to Jerry Lee Lewis, from episode 6:

'''Azmaria:''' Goodness gracious!<br />

'''Chrono:''' Great ball of fire!<br />
